good morning

So, got an email from AWS this morning, saying that our projected cost for July is going to be $5 Trillion

I would love to hear why 😁

That's a Kevlin Henny

The yachts don’t buy themselves. I mean… ocean liners… I mean intergalactic spaceships…

Little bit more than the GDP of Germany. The third country on the list.

We reasoned at work that Jeff was feeing jealous of Elon, so decided to charge every aws user at least $1 trillion to level up.

flawless business strategy ngl

classic bait and switch - no fee to try, then a month later, a bill for $1 trilion dollars.

(of course, for those wondering, it is a bug with aws billing). However, I should bill AWS for undue stress this morning

maybe time to add a little guard like (when (< bill annual-revenue) (send-email!))

More people have reported this. And aws says there is a billing problem.

Maybe they're just testing the waters to see if anyone will actually pay

when one vibe codes the billing after sacking a whole bunch of staff...

A lot of people having chest pains

I'll have to look down the back of the sofa for some spare change.

Good morning!

Good spectacular morning!

Morning! Where is this?

I guess Switzerland?

It's close to my home town. On the way up to Middagshornet (1090m) https://maps.app.goo.gl/mGpaSxMYnMVv6mo89?g_st=ic

Wow 👏

Good gelato morning

What a chaotic menu 😅

New ice cream parlor in Sluis (Zeeland, NL). They're apparently crowdsourcing which flavors to make 😀.

Our local one does the same.

Good ✈️ 🇧🇷 morning

Have a safe and excellent trip!
